· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Spain, with a 26% chance, is the team most likely to win the 2026 World Cup, followed by France (19%), Argentina (14%), Brazil (8%), and the Netherlands and England (5%), according to a predictive study by the American investment bank Goldman Sachs. The company has developed a model to forecast the outcome of the World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, which begins this Thursday, November 11. It predicts that the semifinals will feature Spain vs. France and Argentina vs. Brazil, with 'La Roja' and the Albiceleste as the finalists, and the victory going to Luis de la Fuente's team. Goldman Sachs highlights Spain as the favorite, noting that its prediction 'aligns with the historical pattern that the World Cup almost always returns to Europe after being won by a South American team,' with the exception of Brazil's victories in 1958 and 1962. The report, which predicts the results of the group stage and the winners in the knockout rounds, uses historical performance data of each team and their scoring ability, as well as various mental and geographical factors, such as altitude and temperature, according to Goldman Sachs.
